During
menopause, many women have some very drastic mood swings and become
emotional to the point of unreasonableness. 
Their husbands (or significant
others), their children, and sometimes even their friends (who should
know better) don't understand this mood swing thing.
They blame
the victim (the menopausal woman) rather that the perpetrator (menopause).
There
is help out there that will HELP to control the wild mood swings
associated with menopause.
Nothing actually STOPS them, but they
can be lessened. One way to lessen them is with HRT or Hormone Replacement
Therapy.
There are, of course, risks associated with using HRT,
but each woman has to weigh the risks against the benefits and make
her own decisions.
There are also natural herbs that can reduce the frequency and
the intensity of mood swings along with the other symptoms of menopause.
T
here aren't any known risks that are associated with the herbal
remedies for menopause, but a woman is pretty much on her own if
she goes this route because medical doctors don't usually supervise
this kind of therapy.
A woman might look for a homeopathic physician
if she prefers herbal remedies.
The mood swings associated with menopause, however, can wreak
havoc on otherwise solid relationships.
Other than using HRT or
natural HRT, education is the best defense against having relationships
torn apart when a woman is going through the process of menopause.
When family and friends understand the problem is menopause, they
can become more supportive.
They can put the blame for the mood
swings where it belongs (menopause) and not on the menopausal women.
When menopause does happen, it really is in the woman's best
interest to be open about what is happening to her and to enlist
the support of her family and friends while she goes through these
trying times.
Relationships can be spared and even be made stronger.
